“To put regular gas in a Ferrari is a capital sin. It’s the same with putting mediocre ammunition in a top gun.”

Carlo Fiocchi

An accountant is an unlikely ammunition manufacturer. But that’s just what Giulio Fiocchi was before one fateful day way back in 1876.

Back then, Giulio Fiocchi worked for a bank in Milan, Italy. When he was sent to collect on a loan given to a manufacturer of black powder and muskets in Lecco, Giulio researched the situation and determined it was not possible for the borrower to repay. Upon returning to Milan, Giulio was consumed with thoughts of getting into the ammunition manufacturing business. He knew nothing about ammo, but felt like he had tripped over the opportunity of a lifetime. After proposing the idea to his brother Giacomo and convincing the bank to lend them money to purchase the insolvent company, it was official. By the next year, Giulio Fiocchi Enterprises began manufacturing ammunition.

Fiocchi Italy: The Mother Country

Fiocchi Munizioni – Italian for “Fiocchi Ammunition” – was founded at a pivotal point in the history of the firearm. The muzzle-loader was quickly going the way of the dinosaur, replaced by the breech-loader. First, Fiocchi started manufacturing reloadable primer cases. By the early 1890s, however, they moved into the world of complete cartridges with bullets or shot. Black powder was now a thing of the past, except for a small group of niche hobbyists.

At the turn of the century, there was a curious expansion for Fiocchi. The manufacturing of ammunition leftover a significant amount of scrap metal. Tired of simply throwing this out, Fiocchi found a use for the metal – snaps. In fact, Fiocchi became a world leader in the production of clothing snaps (so much so, that when this lucrative side enterprise was sold in the 1980s, it went to one of the biggest garment manufacturers in the world).

What’s more, Fiocchi was an early leader in manufacturing worker welfare. In 1904, Fiocchi built a number of houses in Lecco, available for purchase at prices their workers could afford. These were not the “company towns” of America’s Gilded Age, but respectable housing. Nurses and childcare were likewise provided by Fiocchi for their employees – and still are. The company also employs many third- and fourth-generation employees to this day.

The Fiocchi Catalog

Fiocchi first focused on ammunition for sporting and hunting. But during World War I, they produced ammo for the Italian army. The factory was seized in World War II by the Germans, and as Allied forces closed in around them, the Germans attempted to destroy the factory. Employees resisted and prevailed over the Germans on the ground, but they were unable to protect the factory from bombs being dropped from Allied planes, which eventually destroyed the plant in 1945.

Fiocchi has always been a family affair. The company was founded by two brothers, then bequeathed from founder Giulio to one of his 13 children, Carlo – who was one of seven brothers. After the destruction of their family’s factory, they were faced with the choice of whether to rebuild or to call it a day and move on.

The Fiocchi family rebuilt their factory in 1946, after the close of the Second World War, leveraging a loyal workforce and not taking a dime from the Marshall Plan. This modern rebuild enabled Fiocchi to manufacture the most advanced ammunition available at the time, keeping them abreast of the expansion of the ammunition market during the 50s and 60s. Marketing this new and improved ammo to a broader audience began with partnerships.

Today, Fiocchi still sits on the cutting edge of high-quality ammunition production, all of which has a deserved reputation as some of the best available. The company sells shotgun shells for shotgun competition and competitors at the world-class level, they continually refine and expand their already inclusive line of centerfire ammunition, and they also manufacture NATO spec-certified ammunition. Fiocchi cartridges were even proudly used in Olympic triumphs in 2004 in Athens and 2008 in Beijing. But the innovation doesn't end there. Cyalume Chemtracershotgun shells, the Canned Heat product line, Cowboy Action Line and the Tundra Rifle line are proof of how Fiocchi keeps a finger on the pulse of the ammo market and anticipates future trends.

Fiocchi makes a full line of ammunition, but one thing it is perhaps most known for is the manufacture of rare cartridges for collectors of antique or unusual firearms. An example of this is the .455 Webley. This caliber is so archaic that in its original form, it still utilized black powder as the firing mechanism. While not the standard issue service model for the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Navy during World War I, it was a popular private arm among those respective services. Originally a large pistol primer, it is now a small pistol primer when manufactured by Fiocchi for antique firearms collectors and enthusiasts.

The History of Fiocchi of America Inc

There’s a strange and circuitous history of Fiocchi in the United States. They shared a factory with Smith & Wesson in Alton, IL in the 1950s. However, the interest between both companies began to conflict, and Fiocchi sold its share. This represented a temporary end to the Fiocchi brand in the United States. However, Carlo Fiocchi, the great grandson of the founder of Fiocchi, came to the United States on his honeymoon in 1980. Unfortunately for Carlo and fortunately for American partisans of the brand, this was to be a working honeymoon. His research led to the 1983 founding of a Fiocchi importation center.

One thing the company didn’t count on was massive demand stateside. Fiocchi were simply unprepared to meet the demands of the American market on an import basis. Carlo convinced Fiocchi president Paolo that building a manufacturing plant in the Ozarks near Springfield was the right step forward for the company. In a strange echo of the company’s origins, the land for the plant was purchased from a farmer who had defaulted on his mortgage. The surrounding community welcomed Fiocchi of America with open arms as they brought good manufacturing jobs to the region. Over 75 percent of the ammunition Fiocchi sells in the United States is also manufactured in the United States. This is how Fiocchi has earned its American slogan “Italian by birth, American by choice.”

Where Is Fiocchi Ammo Made?

While many collectors and everyday hunters and sportsmen use Fiocchi Ammunition for shooting targets, clay or game, Fiocchi is an Italian brand, with its Italian manufacturing hub in the same region (Bologna) that manufactures Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Perhaps Fiocchi could be considered the Ferrari of ammunition, but at a price point nearly anyone can afford. A quick visit to the company’s website will show the sleek and elegant design for which Italian luxury brands are world-famous, along with Fiocchi ammo reviews that are often stellar.

Fiocchi has a strong history, and is clearly committed to continue improving their influence and reputation among American sporting shooters. And after all these years, the Fiocchi family are still firmly in control of this business, an enterprise run with love by a single family for over 140 years, and now on its fourth and fifth generations. All told, 70 family members have shares in a holding company that owns the ammunition manufacturing enterprise.

“My family name is on the frigging box! I cannot sell anything but the best. It’s my Italian sense of pride.”

Customer Reviews

"This ammo has proven to be the most accurate I've found out of a Remy 700 HB with a 1:12 twist. Had almost given up on accuracy with this rifle, but this load yielded 0.7 MOA (100 yds, calm day, off support). "

"I've been using this brand for some time and must say it is excellent. It may be a slight bit dirtier than the CCI and Winchester ammo I used in the past. I have never had a misfire or jam with this ammo and always smooth ejections from my guns. The accuracy is outstanding from bullet to bullet. I highly recommend this ammo to the hunter or non completion target shooter. You will NOT be disappointed with this ammos all around performance."

"My old 22 Mag rifle is load sensitive but performs well with the Fiocchi soft points.
I get sub-half inch groups at a measured 50 yds from the bench with them vs 1-1/4" from CCI and 3/4" from Winchester hollowpoints. FMJs from both shoot a 1/4" better.
I dropped a point on performance because I have not tested it on game animals yet.
I don't hunt with this rifle much because I found the hollow point offerings from CCI & Winchester too explosive for squirrels and lacking penetration on larger game like small pigs. The FMJ offerings do not incapacitate small game like squirrels except on direct nrevous system hits. If the softpoints prove to be the compromise I hope they are, I will make an effort to tune this rifle and use it more.
FWIW: I also get near benchrest accuracy from the Fiocchi Hi-Vel ammo in 22LR."

"A yr ago or so a range worker told me about this brand being the best range ammo for it’s all around performance, no misfire, loading, extract of casing, jam ups, nothing!....so far been true to a “T” I been using since and not one hiccup..not one people, out of my HKVP9 not one jam up. "

Roger said:

"Have run a little over 250 rounds of the 1000 round order. I have not had any failure to feed rounds and no failure to extract rounds. "

BlackHawkDon said:

"Only fire a couple of mags of this ammo without any misfires or other problems. This is an excellent range round. "

"I purchased 250 rounds of this ammo, and was totally taken back by the response time getting the ammo. I ordered on saturday night online, received it tuesday afternoon.
I have since run one box through my Suomi M31, a Finnish sub machine gun, and it fired flawlessly. No hangs, no misfires, no low blow back pressures. And the price was great.
Only problem ( non problem) was one box busted open in shipping, go figure Fed-Ex
with the gorilla baggage handlers.... ;-)"

vtsnow said:

"I've only shot 50 rounds so far, but the Fiocchi 9mm 115gr. FMJ round seems pretty good. A little dirtier than expexted, but no misfeeds or FTFs so I am happy. A little more expensive than the S&B ammo that I prefer."

"Just got a Sig Sauer P238 for myself. First day at the range, 50 rounds Fiocchi 95 gr FMJ, ran through with no problems at all. Have used Fiocchi 115gr 9 mm in another pistol, also worked fine."

Ski said:

"I recently bought my wife a Sig Sauer P238 .380 pistol. I also bought 100 rounds of Fiocchi ammo to go with it. At the range , this ammo would cause a jam every second or third round. I manually unloaded the clip and loaded it with Federal ammo and it performed perfectly with no jams. "

"I have bought lots of 1,000 of this ammo 2-3 times. The first lot(s) were good. However, I started getting tons of split case necks about every 10th round with my most recent lot. This was with a 10.5" AR pistol and good quality P-mags. I had my local gunsmith look at the gun, and he couldn't find any issues, so presumably the culprit was the ammo. Not sure if they had some QC issues this year?
I haven't written off Fiocci, but I'll probably wait a while until any bad ammo cycles through the market."

Ezekiel said:

"Ive been shooting fiocchi 223 amd 9mm for a couple years solely now, never have had a malfunction, bad primer, or defaced/damaged round. Shoots great, burns well, and such a good price for what you get."

EmmBee said:

"Purchased 1000 and reloaded those after shooting. Ammo functioned beyond expectations and reloaded cases performed well too. "

"Received ammo in 2 days. Shot 400 rounds first day with no issues what so ever. Have shot a total 750 rounds so far with zero problems with ammo. Great value."

Ed said:

"I was very surprised at the speed of delivery, received my ammo 2 days after placing the order. Went to the range week later and put 200 rounds down range. No miss fires, jambs or fly always. Great service, great ammo."

Bullet Points: Fiocchi Ammo

An Italian ammo brand, Fiocchi also has a manufacturing plant in Missouri – where they produce a wide variety of ammunition.

Fiocchi first became available in 1877, offering sporting ammo. They’re now known for their world-class shotgun ammunition, and NATO-specification ammo for military use.

“A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition.”Rudyard Kipling

“When the history of the 20th century is finally written, one of its key features will be the wanton slaughter of more than 170 million people, not in war, but by their own government. The governments that led in this slaughter are the former USSR (65 million) and the Peoples Republic of China (35-40 million). The point to remember is that these governments were the idols of America's leftists. Part of reason for these and other tyrannical successes was because the people were first disarmed.”Walter E. Williams

“There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun ownership and had been well armed. ... Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half-starved group of Jews took 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazis.”Theodore Haas

“As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.”Tench Coxe

“This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty...The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest possible limits...Wherever standing armies are kept up and [when] the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.”St. George Tucker

“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”Benjamin Franklin

“The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.”Woodrow Wilson

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.”Theodore Roosevelt

“Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and gave him triumphal processions. Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the 'new, wonderful good society' which shall now be Rome, interpreted to mean 'more money, more ease, more security, more living fatly at the expense of the industrious.' ”Cicero
